Asus WRX90E-SAGE weird issue with Proxmox and windows

Hi Guys,

I have finished a couple month ago my build but never got able to use the usb4 port of my ASUS WRX 90 Sage.

Here is the list of my hardware :

SilverStone SST-RM61-312
Asus Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE
AMD Threadripper 7975WX
8 X Kingston Server Premier 64GB 5600MT/s KSM56R46BD4PMI-64HAI / 512GB
IceGiant ProSiphon Elite
4 X 4To Samsung nvme 990 Pro
RTX 3090 + AMD 5600XT
lsi 9300-16i

I am running Proxmox with multiple LXC and VM’s, however I cannot seem to get usb4 working, I have checked kernel logs and getting this errors.
“xhci_hcd 0000:8c:00.0: init 0000:8c:00.0 fail, -110”
“xhci_hcd: probe of 0000:8c:00.0 failed with error -110”

I also get a yellow mark on windows 11 device manager when I boot from my windows nvme drive so not only a proxmox - linux issue. I suspect a hardware issue or a bios configuration trick.

My main goal is to use an optic TB3 cable and run my Gaming VM to my office and rack mount this workstation.

Thanks for your help
